Here, on the outskirts of the major city,
The trees are slightly bending to the west,
And waking up, one finds the nitty-gritty, --
A girlfriend’s forehead resting on his chest.

Here, time goes by unheeded. Nightingales
Sing all day long and street-lamps never fade.
And when the sun arises, it unveils
Two star-crossed lovers kissing in the shade.

Here, there is no commotion, all is still,
And mild autumn winds, across the courtyards,
Chase golden leaves and raindrops quickly fill
The puddles with the juice from Eden’s orchards.

Here, we can hold each other by the hand,
And ramble by the pond with pink flamingoes.
Here, we can build gold castles out of sand
And whisper from the bottom of the inkwells.

This poem was so awesome. It amazed me. I really really loved this poem. Very impressive work here!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I don't have an attitude problem You have a perception problem.

Heaven won't have me and Hell's afraid I'll take over.
